TEACHING EXPERTISE
In the years of being an active teaching and research academic at Deakin University, I have made significant contributions both to the anthropology discipline and to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I was anthropology discipline convenor from June to December 2016 and then from 2018 to 2020. I have taught six out of ten subjects offered in the anthropology major at Deakin University, including creating and writing one of these subjects, Being Human (With the Nonhuman). I also and created and wrote another subject, Tibetan Buddhism, in the Religious Studies major.
